How Our Ansty Auto Locksmith Service Works
-
Diagnosis
- We confirm your vehicle details (make, model, year, fuel type), the key type (standard, remote fob, smart/proximity), and the symptoms you’re seeing (e.g., key not detected, car won’t start, locked keys in boot).
- If necessary, we run OBD2 diagnostics to check immobiliser communication or read fault codes.
-
Non-Destructive Entry or Key Creation
- For lockouts, we use non-destructive entry methods to open the vehicle without damage.
- For lost keys, we decode the lock, cut a new blade (including laser-cut/high-security where required), and prepare a compatible transponder or smart key.
-
Programming & Pairing
- We perform transponder or smart key programming using dealer-level equipment.
- For certain vehicles, we use EEPROM techniques or ECU/immobiliser programming to securely add keys and ensure the old keys are removed or blocked if lost/stolen.
-
Testing & Handover
- We test physical locking, remote functions, and engine start.
- You’ll receive guidance on battery care for fobs, spare key options, and warranty details.

Helpful Advice for Ansty Drivers
- Keep a Spare: A spare key is far cheaper and quicker than an emergency call-out. We can provide on-site car key cutting and duplication while you carry on with your day.
- Report Stolen Keys: If keys are stolen, consider reprogramming to remove old keys from the immobiliser for peace of mind.
- Fob Battery Care: If your fob range reduces or you need to press repeatedly, replace the battery early to avoid sudden failure—especially before longer journeys on the A23/M23.
- Dealer vs Locksmith: A local mobile locksmith often beats main dealer timescales by coming to you and creating/programming keys on-site, avoiding towing and long waits.
